Since the HEVC Rext has been commonly supported on Intel IceLake and newer platforms and 4:2:2 has been used in many advanced video recorders, as well as the recently released Chromium has supported Rext on Intel too, I think it is worth to add this in d3d11va/dxva2 to accelerate their playback in third-party players with the help of LavFilters.
The essential patch 3/5 is taken from the VLC player and it works fine for years but it seems that the ffmpeg dev preferred to have Microsoft to release a new header for HEVC Rext.
I have verified this patch locally, including its interop with QSV VPP.
I wonder if you guys can push this series into ffmpeg or work with Microsoft to release a new header for HEVC Rext?
